So Much Head Hunger, How Do You Slay The Dragon?
Ms skinniness posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey, I am hoping to get some feedback from others. I have been realizing that I have a lot of head hunger going on. I think I'm hungry when I'm actually thirsty. My head hunger is like a giant dragon that's slaying me! I can talk myself into eating anything. Last night I had a humongous meal at the Red Lobster. Now my head hunger is telling me that I'm needed to go into maintenance and that it's ok to eat a little bit carbs. So how do you guys deal with your dragon (head hunger)? -
question about dealing with thirst post-op.

I have this thought that keeps cramming itself back into my head. I get thirsty a lot, and when I do, I chug water and it is heavenly. I always have a Nalgene bottle next to me and I drink at least two of those a day. Now, I've done all of my homework on the surgery, and I know that chugging is not only bad, but pretty much impossible, at least early on. I'm trying really hard to learn how to just sip now, but then I just get to this point where I'm so thirsty and I drink until I feel better. (And no, the thirst is not related to being diabetic. By some miracle, I am not.) I'm so afraid that post-op, I'm going to feel that same thirst, and not be able to do anything about it. The idea gives me this kind of panicky trapped feeling. Did you find that you were less thirsty after surgery? Are there going to be times where I'm just going to have to deal with being really thirsty, but only able to take sips? I'm trying to get my head in the game right now, so that it's not a huge shock to me later, so be as honest as you want to be about it. Now then, I made myself desperately thirsty just writing about this, and have to go refill my bottle. x[
